UTC Sensors Unlimited Linescan 2048L InGaAs Camera, 2048 Pixels at 76 klps
The UTC Sensors Unlimited GL2048L camera provides high-resolution line capture using 2048 pixels on 10-micron pitch for both Machine Vision and for Optical Coherence Tomography with high QE in the 1 to 1.6 micron wavelength range. The camera covers the line rate range from 100 to >76,000 lines per second via 12-bit base Camera Link® digital interfaces providing flexibility. It can also be externally triggered over the interface to set both the line rate and exposure time via the frame grabber CC1 signal.
Features:
- 2048 x 1 pixel array with 10 µm pitch
- High QE from 0.99 µm to 1.65 µm
- Solid-state FPA with snapshot exposure
- User controlled exposure and line period
- Line rates from 0.1 k to 76 k lines per second or 10 k to >145 k lps
- >1200 : 1 dynamic range in high gain
- 4 gain/full-well choices
- External triggering of line and exposure via Camera Link CC1 line
- Enclosed body < 136 cm3 (< 8.3 in3 )
- Low power < 3.6 W over 6-12 V
- Acquires and saves user non-uniformity corrections
- Base or Medium 12-bit Camera Link® interfaces
- Meets FCC and CE requirements for radiated and conducted emissions, for immunity from such emissions and for ESD resistance
- The GL2048L and R are compliant with EU RoHS Directives
Applications:
- Optical Coherence Tomography at: 1.04, 1.31, 1.55 µm
- High-resolution spectroscopy of intense spectra
- Silicon wafer or integrated circuit microscopy
- SWIR Machine vision of moving objects
- Thermal MV imaging > 150 °C through glass windows
